Monday (May 25) marks the fourth bank holiday of the year and the last before the end of August.
So, if you’re lucky enough to have an extra day off, it’s important to make the most of it.
Temperatures in Peterborough are expected to rise on bank holiday Monday, so you’d be silly not to spend at least some of the day enjoying the beautiful countryside surrounding the city.
Given that Peterborough is surrounded by miles of luscious farmland, it’s perhaps unsurprising that so many highly rated farm shops are located within a short drive of the city.
It’s widely accepted that if you’re after high quality produce direct from source, farm shops are the place to go.
As the name suggests, most farm shops stock predominantly home-grown produce from within a few miles radius of the site.
As we transition from spring to summer, farm shops across the country will be stuffed with fresh fruit and vegetables such as strawberries and asparagus.
